This paper explores and illustrates empirically how the Capabilities Approach (CA) can be used to frame and understand Sport for Development (SfD) practices. Based on research with a SfD project in Vietnam, we show how the CA is compatible with understanding SfD practices, and even its intended outcomes, particularly gender equity and sports participation for all. Hence, we offer one of the first empirical understandings of the CA to SfD, thus furthering the bridging of theory and practice in the study of SfD. We argue that the CA as a development theory provides an appropriate theoretical basis for SfD because it aligns with the ways in which SfD practitioners approach their work. We conclude that SfD practices at their core seek to contribute to providing a life worthwhile by promoting opportunities for individuals to experience various Central Capabilities.
